| obstructive dysmenorrhoea | Dysmenorrhoea due to obstruction of discharge of menstrual blood, as in cervical stenosis. Synonym: obstructive dysmenorrhoea. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| obstructive hydrocephalus | Hydrocephalus secondary to a block in cerebrospinal fluid flow in the ventricular system or between the ventricular system and spinal canal. Synonym: noncommunicating hydrocephalus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| obstructive jaundice | Jaundice resulting from obstruction to the flow of bile into the duodenum, whether intra-or extrahepatic. Synonym: mechanical jaundice. (05 Mar 2000) |
| obstructive lung disease | <chest medicine> A form of lung disease that manifests as acute or chronic, narrowing or blockage of the smaller airways in the lungs, causing increased resistance to airflow in the bronchial tubes (for example asthma, silicosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease from smoking). (27 Sep 1997) |
| obstructive murmur | A murmur caused by narrowing of one of the valvular orifices. (05 Mar 2000) |
| obstructive pneumonia | Infection of lung resulting from obstruction of airway, by narrowing resulting from previous disease process, persistent bronchospasm, thick secretions or by aspiration of a foreign body. (05 Mar 2000) |
| obstructive pulmonary overinflation | Emphysema caused by obstruction of airways that has greater effect on expiration than inspiration; occurs reversibly with bronchospasm of asthma; localised process can be due to aspiration of a foreign body. (05 Mar 2000) |
| obstructive sleep apnoea | A form of sleep apnoea which occurs as the result of a physical occlusion of the oropharyngeal airway during sleep. (27 Sep 1997) |
| obstructive thrombus | A thrombus due to obstruction in the vessel from compression or other cause. (05 Mar 2000) |
| obstructive uropathy | <nephrology, urology> A sudden disorder which results in the complete blockage of urine flow out the bladder and/or urethra. Pressure rises in the urinary tract causing a backward pressure on the kidneys. Bilateral hydronephrosis (kidney enlargement), hypertension and damage to the kidneys (acute renal failure) will occur if the obstruction is not relieved. Causes include prostate disease, tumours and cystocele. Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (27 Sep 1997) |
| lung diseases, obstructive | Any disorder marked by persistent obstruction of bronchial air flow. (12 Dec 1998) |
| aditus pelvis | The upper opening of the true pelvis, bounded anteriorly by the pubic symphysis and the pubic crest on either side, laterally by the iliopectineal lines, and posteriorly by the promontory of the sacrum. Synonym: apertura pelvis superior, aditus pelvis, first parallel pelvic plane, pelvic brim, pelvic inlet, pelvic plane of inlet, plane of inlet. (05 Mar 2000) |
| android pelvis | A masculine or funnel-shaped pelvis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anthropoid pelvis | An apelike pelvis, with a long anteroposterior diameter and a narrow transverse diameter. (05 Mar 2000) |
| apertura pelvis inferior | The lower opening of the true pelvis, bounded anteriorly by the pubic arch, laterally by the rami of the ischium and the sacrotuberous ligament on either side, and posteriorly by these ligaments and the tip of the coccyx. Synonym: apertura pelvis inferior, apertura pelvis minoris, fourth parallel pelvic plane, pelvic outlet, pelvic plane of outlet, plane of outlet. (05 Mar 2000) |
